[Q] Seek Thermal camera on Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
Here is my problem: I upgraded my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 P5113 to Kitkat 4.4.4
That was a requirement for installing the Seek Thermal Camera that I am having trouble with (please Google it I am not allowed to post links yet)
The other requirement that someone from support indicated to me was OTH USB which Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 seems to have
I used a micro USB cable to connect the camera to the table.
So right know I have the software installed and the camera connected but ..the software can not see it
My tablet is rooted. Is there any way I can debug this and see if actually the kernel sees this new thermal camera ?
thanks a lot

I tried three micro USB extension cables. Two from EBAY did not work. Tablet did not detect camera.
One from Amazon (suggested by support) does work.

How did you root it? And I know the cable your talking about, it isn't the micro SD cable like everyone has, it's the one that looks like an older apple cable. I have the Tab 2 7.0

I installed CWM or something like that
In the process it rooted the device. I am now able to get the # prompt if I use "su"
This is irrelevant for the topic since the camera is not seen by the device

Well.....thanks but no thanks
If it takes us 2 days to get to the point of your questions (we are not even close to that) then I would prefer not to be helped this way
You could have said I need you to do this and that... if your tablet was not rooted correctly then this is not going to work.
The camera does not require the tablet to be rooted. debugging that might require that but I don't see your point.

I've never had an issue with the camera on my tablet or my phone... Try another app if that one doesn't work. The attitude is something I don't have to deal with and you can easily find someone else to help you

Then try to be less patronizing when you offer your help and make sure you understand the context

So you are using this with a micro USB adapter?
Looking at the specs it doesn't mention "android tablet compatibility " except for eYepaDs .
Maybe that's why IT doesn't work?

Yes I am trying to use it this way
Here is what the developer told me
Ryan (Seek Thermal)
Nov 06 10:22
The basic requirements that can prevent download are 4.3 or newer Android and a rear-facing native camera. The USB OTG functionality, as well as the USB port providing power to OTG attached devices, will not block download, but the camera won't connect. Ideally we would block downloads by USB OTG functionality, but tha tis not an option in Android right now.
Ryan
Seek Support

So you need to revert to a stone age rom in order to use a gadget that is not really supported by an android tablet, and the developer will tell you a bunch of double talk so you don't return the gadget costing him a profit.
"And a rear facing native camera " will prevent download?
What does he mean by "prevent download "?
Does that mean that app won't function?
You need to download samsung stock firmware, and flash with Odin (may need to do factory reset also ) if it doesn't work after first odin flash.
I would test before rooting.

Nope he was dumb ..actually he wanted to say that if you have something older than 4.3 you can't install the app
The rear facing camera was unclear to me.
I am going to but a cable and test this in an emulator
I suspect that my cable can be the right one but it does not take the OTG power from the tablet to the other end of the cable...
I did not make sure that the cable was OTG, I thought that only the port is that way. Not sure how I can verify this

Don't think cable has to be OTG specific, if the voltage is present to power a device the cable will work. You may need to find out what pin on connector is supposed to be hot for OTG and test.

[How to] UN-ROOT Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 [GT-P5113 / 5100 / 5110]

This Root Remover has been tested with the Samsung Galaxy Tab2 10.1, Model GT-P5113.
REQUIREMENT: You must have root using the procedure at [How To] ROOT Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 [GT-P5113 / 5100 / 5110]
• After you download this file, move it the root of your external SD card( /mnt/extSdCard ). This is the micro sdcard you insert in tablet slot. Your /mnt/sdcard folder is internal memory (not recognized in CWM recovery).
• Reboot into CWM (recovery) using Quick Boot app or
• Power OFF your tablet, disconnect from computer and restart in recovery (CWM) by pushing and holding POWER & Volume DOWN/LEFT buttons at same time. When Samsung Tab 2 10.1 logo appears, you can release power button but continue holding volume button for a few more seconds. Note: If you've done this on other Samsung devices, you will notice that it takes longer before blue CWM v5.5.0.4 text appears ... just be patient.
• Once you are in recovery, use volume button (UP/DOWN/LEFT OR RIGHT) to move around andPOWER button to select an option.
Select install zip from sdcard. Choose Root_Remover file you already copied to root of sdcard.
When unrooting is finished, choose reboot system now from CWM menu.
By downloading this file you understand and agree that you bear all responsibility for the use and anything it may do to your tablet.
DOWNLOAD
Root_Remover.zip
Unrooting does NOT reset the download counter (developers are still working on that).
As soon as I or another developer figure out how to reset the counter on this device,
I will post information HERE.
Keep in mind that at least three Tab2 10.1 variations exist around the world.
BE PATIENT. As with prior Androids, a solution will come.
Enjoy,
Glenn

Thanks welton!
I still haven't taken the dive in rooting this tablet yet (its my mom's and I want to make sure that if/when something breaks we can return it under warranty). This gets me 1 step closer though. Once we can figure out the download counter then I'm 100% in!
Yes, it would be great if the counter could be resetted. On the Samsung Galaxy S2 there is only a little USB stick, which have to be putted into the power slot on the phone. Then the phone boots and the counter will be resetted... Why there is no such a trick on the Tab?

Yes, would be nice if it were that easy. I have the USB jig for my SGS2 smartphone. If I can get an adapter from the SGS2 microUSB male plug to the Tab2 connnector plug, I intend to try it on my tablet.
If ANYBODY knows where i can purchase an adapter with a female microUSB port that converts it to standard USB 2.0, PLEASE post or PM me so i can try my SGS2 reset jig with my GT-P5113 to see if it will reset the download counter to zero. Thanks!
For the record, I tried using Cheatman's Triangle Away app Versions 1.1, 1.25 and 1.51 but with no success.

Well I did some searching and the closest thing I can find is a Micro to Mini adapter on Ebay Here or Here. You'd then have to get a Mini to USB adapater... It would be a pain but it just doesn't look like they make a mini that converts to a full-fledged USB.

Thanks. I found the same. If I can verify the pin designations for the tab2 10.1 as being similar to my SGS2 phone, I will try jumping the USB2.0 end of my tab2 cable with a resisitor to see if that works.
Plan B: If I can find a stock bootloader.bin file for GT-P5113 tablet, I can try resetting the download counter using ODIN to flash that file. I already tried installing the GT-P5110 bootloader via ODIN, and it would not connect or flash. As life has taught me many times "Quitters never win & winners never quit" so I am determined to find a solution!

Important of counter reset
Sorry for the noob question, but what will happen if we can not reset the counter to 0 i see so many people are talking abt it how important is this "counter reset" stuff?
edit: This is my first samsung device so i don´t know much abt it, am still learning.

Unless counter says zero you may not be able to get any service if/when needed
because Samsung can refuse to honor the factory warranty. It's that simple. However, this tablet is my 4th Android tablet and I've never needed any service on ANY of them. All my former tablets have been sold or given away as gifts and ALL still work perfectly.

Is there a way to pull the stock bootloader without rooting/adding to the Odin counter? So if someone out there was reading this and had stock they could supply you with it?

Good question. I normally find files like this using Root Explorer which is a Catch 22 or getting it from Samsung but they have not released GT-P5113 Stock files. Maybe someone reading this (who is smarter than me) will know of a way we can get it!

Okay... Cuz I haven't rooted mine yet, but I may considering pulling the stock bootloader... Though I really don't want to mess with the bootloader...
Since it was from Best Buy is there really any worry about the Odin counter just in case something DOES happen with my tablet after root? I've heard some people say Best Buy doesn't check Odin...
My Samsung phone used the recovery root method so the counter still says "NO"...

Based on my experiences and feedback from friends, odds are 70/30 in your favor with Best Buy. I know it's just a matter of time before I get my hands on the stock bootloader.bin file or we get a version of TriangleAway for this tablet.
What's interesting to me is that only about 1 in 10 people who root their tablets seem to even care about being able to unroot it and i've yet to meet anyone who has needed service of any kind on a Tab2.

Thanks,un-rooted,DLed and installed the update and rooted again in 1/2 hr. Worked great! 25 minutes was download time for the update via Kies.

GT-N5100 After 4.2.2 Update MultimediaDock not recognized

Hi
Today i make the official update to 4.2.2 on my 5100.
After this my Samsung Multimedia Dock wont work. Neither HDMI nor Mass Storage (USB flash drive) is recognized.
Thats really annoying because i need the dock for my work (Presentations with VGA adapter and Mouse)!
Would anyone confirm this problem?
Have anyone a solution?
Thanks for answering!

Multimedia Dock only working as a charging dock now with 4.2.2
Can't even sync with it.
Went back to 4.1.2 because of this and all is working fine again.

You have to install them while the card is NOT connected. After you installed them, connect the card. As you can read in the post I linked to I had to install them several times myself and reboot before I did not get that device not recognized anymore. After that it seemed to work.....

If I right understand you, I have to plug in the Docking (with Power Chord on) without connected to my carrier?
Thanks for answering!
Maybe he means the usb cable. ( cord? )
Back to 4.1.2
And all is working again!
Sincerely, the 4.2 update was a bad choice. Samsung should make a better update. I'm not spitting on it, but no Smart Dock mode?
I'm hopefull that Samsung will launch a bugfix for that.
More than half year passed since that problem appeared with the 4.2.2 update.... Is there any solution to use the multimedia dock on 4.2.2 or only the downgrade can help?
You need a kernel with dock support enabled.
There are some configurations to change while compile new kernel:
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_OTG_AUDIO_DOCK=y
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_SMART_DOCK=y
CONFIG_MUIC_MAX77693_SUPPORT_CAR_DOCK=y
I compiled my own kernel and use a cable made to support simultaneos charge and otg.
If you want, send a message and I will sent my kernel.
I wonder how the adapter I've got off eBay^ works then. As long as I do plug in power + USB before the HDMI, I get screen off, charging, and USB host and MHL output. Although the only way I can trickle charger rather than slowly drain is by using the 3A charger from my Chromebook instead of a regular 2A charger.

[Q] Rooting Photon Q LOST and CONFUSED

Hi, I am new to this and decided I need to root my Photon so I can use it as a WIFI hotspot for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet. I have read so much I am totally lost and confused. I have tried pdanet foxfi(which did work with my laptop but that is now unusable) and such but I can only browse web on my tablet and nothing else. Every app says check internet conection or wifi connection. I need to be able to use apps that require wifi such as team viewer. Please help. I don't know the first thing about this.
I have sprint (regrettably stuck for 2 years now) but love my photon. If someone can post a link with like 1 2 3 type steps it would be fantastic. I know zilch and the more I read the less I know like minus zilch lol. I find using my tablet is so much easier too read that I would rather use it if I can for internet stuff versus my phone.
Thank you.
Is your device rooted and the bootloader unlocked?
Have you considered CyanogenMod or another custom ROM? Tethering works out of the box on most of those.
When I was on the stock ROM (before CM was on the device...) I used a wifi tether app from the Play Store, but you did have to be rooted to use it.

Haven't considered anything yet, am just learning bout this. Phone is standard, no unlocking or anything. I am just leaning terms also. I don't know how to unlock or root. So neither are done. Have no idea about ROMs yet. As I said, am just starting so forgive me for being ignorant of these things at this time.

No worries.
I think there's still a way to root without unlocking - but here's the jist.
Unlocking allows you to do anything - custom recovery, custom ROM, whatever you please. Rooting only allows apps on your device root access - so you still have stock recovery, stock ROM.

lol, yes. Unlocking is pretty simple, just make sure you are getting the code correct - has to match exactly!
The only downside is the official warranty is voided - but if you have insurance with your provider, they should still honor it. Just the manufacturer warranty is voided.

I get off work in a few hours and after some sleep will go try that link up above. Desktop running xp. Have never connected photon to PC yet. Hopefully will go smoothly.
You should be fine running XP. The instructions from Windows 7 should be the same and if not they should be similar enough that you know what to do. I put the disclaimer in there because I don't like saying "this is how you do this" without having tested it first hand.
I installed the drivers and SDK now onto the rest hopefully tomorrow as I didn't want to start with only a few minutes left before I had to come to work.

I remember the last Motorola I had also (Droid 3), I could never "sync" to my pc as my pc wouldn't recognize it to let me view files. Can anyone tell me what I am missing? I will reconnect my phone tonite and get the exact messages that the pc are telling me when I connect my phone. Thank you
Still can't get PC to recognize phone.

Different cable? Different port? Different PC?
Are you sure the drivers are installed? Does the PC make a sound when you plug it in, indicating that it recognized *something* being plugged in?
How does it show up in device manager?
Please give us as much detail as you possibly can. What you've tried, etc.
Also, if you have debugging on turn it off, or if it's off, turn it on.

Sounds like it could be an issue with EMMC (flash memory) failure. So it is a black screen, doesn't boot to anything, and can't load the correct drivers, even when manually loaded?
I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49959589&postcount=5
Which would seem to make sense, but I can't find any more info on it and the member who posted that hasn't responded to my requests for more info on this issue.
If you cannot get anything out of your device because of the flash memory you are out of luck and the only choice is to get a replacement.

Currently. It is possible to fix some phones that have messed up flash memory via a JTAG service. They have this for the N4. Hopefully it is just a matter of time before they figure out how to do the same for the N5.
Yey thank you all it`s running

USB OTG problem

Hello, i'm having a problem about my phone not recognizing my external keyboard. The keyboard is working on my computer and it used to work on my phone then suddenly my phone cant recognize it anymore although it gives power to it. Not sure if it's the OTG cable or my phone in general.

Have you changed anything about the device between when it worked and now?
Does the kernel the device has now support OTG?

You haven't applied any stock updates or anything? If it worked before then you've changed something in settings or something if you haven't updated the device.
It would help if you posted your device model number and the stock firmware version/build number that your device has. Then I can help you troubleshoot through the required steps for your device.

You are missing the point about the update.
I'm asking if the device has what it had when you bought it or has it had a stock update applied at any time? If it was on one version when you bought it and the keyboard worked at that time but has had a stock update since then and now the keyboard isn't working then that could be what is giving you problems.
Have you also checked the language and input setting to see if you have the physical keyboard enabled?
